"Great. A Browning Automatic Rifle, better known as a B.A.R. I heard the Royal Guards uses 'em to fight the Changelings in Germaneigh. Also, heard that it's piano-penetrating. Better get some better cover, Tavi."

Technically it was classified as an LMG. By modern standards it'd suffer from a small mag, but back in the world wars it was the best you could get without classifying yourself as a heavy machine gun which required setup and deployment, sometimes needing 2 people to operate just so one could carry the ammo. Plus, the BAR opted for fairly hard hitting cartridges, which further reduced mag capacity.

Characteristically, an LMG is just a higher capacity assault rifle, usually with a bipod as well. A comparable LMG model was the Bren (and the type 99 which was basically a Japanese Bren).
